Bits to Gigabits Converter
How to convert bits to gigabits
gigabits = bits ÷ 1,000,000,000
To convert bits to gigabits, divide the number of bits by 1,000,000,000.
1 bit = 1 × 10⁻⁹ Gbit
Examples
- One byte: 8 bit ÷ 1,000,000,000 = 8 × 10⁻⁹ Gbit
- 64 bit ÷ 1,000,000,000 = 6.4 × 10⁻⁸ Gbit
Good to know
8 bits make 1 byte. Bits (lowercase b) and bytes (uppercase B) are easily confused in abbreviations such as Mb and MB.
A unit of bits, not bytes: 8 bits make 1 byte. Bit units are used for transfer speeds, byte units for file and storage sizes.

Unit definitions
- Bit
- A bit is the smallest unit of digital information, a single binary value of 0 or 1. Eight bits make one byte.
- Gigabit (Gbit)
- A gigabit is 1,000,000,000 bits, equal to 125,000,000 bytes. It is used for fast network links such as gigabit Ethernet and fiber broadband.
